Strange color of vermiculite
    #26672050 - 05/15/20 06:50 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Good day fellows,

I ordered some vermiculite for PF Tek and when it arrived I was quite surprised by its color and texture (you can see the picture below). I was used to sandish color and quite robust structure, whereas the one which arrived is darkish and very glittery and also very soft (it is very easy to squeeze it and it does not retain its shape afterward). I read online that one can heat vermiculite and then it expands, maybe that's what the sellers did to maximize the volume it occupies and thus the profits? Will this have an effect on colonization time and quality?
Thanks for the answers and help!

It looks alright to me. I’ve had stuff that looked like that and smaller stuff that looked like silver sand almost.

A guy was recently posting here who seems to have mastered the BRF cake and he said something about large chunks being good to keep your mix really light and airy.

Yeah I think that’s just how finer grades look.

Mine is just like that.
